255/55/18 it fits nicely!!!

For the people that got the tires+wheels installed, how much clearance do you have with the bottom of the strut?

I am running 235/65/17 with ZERO rubbing on a stock TH with no spacers or lift. I am extremely close to the bottom of the strut tower and would need to add a spacer to push the wheel out from under it if I go any larger OD of tire.

Adding spacers as we all know causes the tires to hit the pinch seam area so I am trying to do a calculation to see if perhaps .5" spacers would work and still have enough thread engagement on the OEM studs.

That being said I would guess with 8" wide wheels you would be extremely close to the strut assembly even with 1" spacers meaning that anything less is out of the question.

Photos of the bottom of the strut+wheel would be great

Also I want to mention that I love the look of the wheels you guys got 10/10!

Where did you have your lift installed? I saw your license plate is Texas. I'm about to have the daystar one installed and wondering if what I was quoted sounds about right. $540 for labor and alignment at four wheel parts at the Plano location. They have never done a Renegade so makes me nervous.

Self install on the Daystar lift but shop install on the ATP lift... $550 with alignment and done at a local off-road shop here in SA. are you the the Renegade Owners of Texas (ROOT) group? It's on Facebook and a bunch of DFW area folks in it

Ok I don't plan on lifting mine or buying any new tires just yet but I really like these wheel. If I bought the 17x8s +35 in a 5x114.3 and used 1" wheel adaptors/spacers, does anyone foresee any problems?

255/55 18 tires will fit on stock 18x7 wheel according to Tire Rack. But there is a slim selection of AT tires in 18" sizes in general, especially in an overall diameter that will fit the Renegade.

18X7-9 if I am not mistaken.
My question is will the 18x9 wheel fit on the renegade without rubbing too much?
I am looking at a mayhem rim that is 18x9.
The bore of it is 87mm too...
That's another concern.
Anyone know If I can make it work?

Specs are KO2 255/55/18. Wheels are Blank Rhino 18x8 +35. Used Bora 1"inch wheel spacers.
Everything except the tires were special order so it's been a long wait for me. The look flipping sick!!!
They do rub at full lock. I'll have to drive more and keep everyone updated as to where modification will happen for this size.
I LOVE IT NOW!!!

I self installed the AVID 2.5" lift (a pain to install, but aligment was almost perfect)and will be mounting 255/60R18 Desert Hawk AT's after completing the pinch seam mod and 1" spacers. I test fit the tires on my stock rims and they fit really well. Will post pics when finished.

Will TH front tow hooks bolt on to a non TH? I have a set and would like to install them.
